. (...) When I was much younger, I set out to find the ultimate German Shepard dog, and stumbled upon Kimo. I paid $300.00 dollars for him, a princely sum for a hound back in those days.
He was the runt of the litter and cute as a bug. When I first saw him, you could just barely stuff him into your shirt pocket. He was still fairly small even when the breeder allowed me to take him home. Both of his parents having documented world championship bloodlines going back to Germany, AKC pure bred papers, blah, blah, blah.
